HULL, Iowa - (Courtesy KCAU-TV) A freak accident Monday
afternoon left a resident of Pleasant Acres Care Center in Hull, Iowa dead and
the facility with major damages.
According to the Sioux County Sheriff's Office, a 2012
Toyota Tacoma driven by 77-year-old Lawrence Sohl of Hull ran through an
intersection, across a grass lawn striking the care center. The truck traveled
through the rooms of two residents before coming to rest completely inside the
building. The collision killed 88-year-old Anna Dykstra, a resident of the care
center, who was in her room at the time of the accident.
No one was in the second room.
Deputies say at the time of the accident, Mr Sohl was following
his wife who was driving a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. About a half
block from the accident scene and for no apparent reason, Mr. Sohl struck the
rear of the minivan sending his vehical on it's path.
Dykstra was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of her
injuries. Lawrence Sohl was transported to the Sioux Center Hospital by the
Sioux Center Ambulance for treatment of his injuries. The care center sustained
$200,000 damage.
The accident remains under investigation by the Sioux County
Sheriff’s Office.
Question:
When will NHTSA invite Dr. Ron Belt and the Korean government researchers to present their scientific explanations of why these kinds of crashes can happen in Toyota vehicles?
